Summary

Lawrence Elementary is a 512-student K–6 school in Lodi, California, in Lodi Unified. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were below both the state and district in English Language Arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest concern is that Lawrence’s overall results are also near the bottom among 10 nearby schools: it ranked ninth in ELA, last in math and eighth in science.

ELA is Lawrence’s strongest subject compared with local and district results, while science is its weakest overall. Lawrence’s ELA proficiency was 31%, versus a 40% average for the nine nearby schools; math was 21% versus 33%, and science was 15% versus 26%. Its results were below the state by 18 percentage points in ELA, 17 in math and 21 in science. Sixth-grade ELA stands out as a bright spot: 45% proficiency was 2 points above the nearby-school average and 5 points above the district, though 3 points below the state. By contrast, third-grade ELA was 23%, and only one nearby school scored lower.

Results have improved over time in ELA, which rose 5 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, but math gained just 4 points and fell from its 2024–25 peak. Science dropped 13 points in the latest year, to 15%, after reaching 27%; its gap with the state widened to 21 points. Chronic absenteeism improved from 49% in 2021–22 to 26% in 2025–26, but remained above the district’s 24% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger placed Lawrence at the 20th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, tied for the lowest percentile among nearby schools. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.5, below the nearby average of 23.3; 92% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also suggest stronger results for some groups than overall: Lawrence was at the 56th percentile for English Language Learner Students in 2023–24, versus the 23rd percentile overall, and at the 49th percentile for Special Education Students in 2024–25, versus the 27th percentile overall.
